“Now the club’s objective must be to continue to rise, to continue to add, to continue to be strong. And I’m sure that Milan will soon return to winning a Champions League, which is our goal.
“I speak for myself, I’m young, I’m a player who wants to win big things, the Champions League I think is every player’s dream and we are working for this.”
Leao has made one appearance in the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League for the Rossoneri.
AC Milan have won the Champions League seven times (1962/63, 1968/69, 1988/89, 1989/90, 1993/94, 2002/03 and 2006/07).
